On Sat., I had a good, long walk with the weather perfectly balanced between a late summer day and an early crisp autumn day. I did a 2.3 mile walk through the wild parts of a park in order to get in a short time away from people where I could hear the sounds I wanted to hear: trees creaking in the wind, leaves rustling, water gurgling over rocks, bird song and crow chatter.
The high point of the walk came while I was still going past suburban houses and saw a small, snow-white dove on the ground. It was beneath a tree and amongst some bushes only a few feet from me. I stopped to tell it was a pretty bird it was. Every inch was brilliant white and it was quite a bit smaller than the brown doves we get in the back yard. After a few minutes of being admired and talked to, she took off, passing right in front of me. It left me wondering whether she was an escaped pet or where she had come from.
Yesterday was spent finishing the script for issue #4 of Amethyst. I got to have some fun with satire on this one.
Today’s multi-tasking was split between a couple of major jobs. I researched the huge changes to WoW in the pre-Mists of Pandoria patch, then updated my three primary characters with new talents, glyphs, abilities, etc. Tons of changes to deal with.
In between bits of that, I used recovery disks to restore the hard drive on my Asus laptop to pristine condition. During our trip at the end of May, I was using hotel wireless and something definitely got its claws into the guts of the machine. It began acting like it was possessed and I gave up using it until I could wipe it clean. That went without a hitch (took a couple of hours), and I’ve reinstalled most of the software I need (including Wow). The anti-virus was the first thing installed, though. The whole process was actually less of a pain than I expected.
